This fine residence known as Manor Cottage was previously owned by the Duchy of Cornwall and was originally two cottages. It has been lived in by our client since 2002. During this time the property has been completely renovated and in 2007 was significantly extended to compliment what is today luxuriously appointed accommodation which would no doubt suit a wide variety of purchasers.

The home is positioned in the heart of this small picturesque village which is part of a conservation area with a strong community.

The following is a quotation from the home owner:

"The beautiful rural setting has been the perfect tonic for relaxing from work. The village is peaceful, the community spirit thriving with many events throughout the year. Our family have felt very close to nature and never cease to be amazed at the diversity of wildlife that visit the pond, bird table and garden. The property is ideally placed for walking and cycling and enjoying nearby woodlands and the beautiful Tamar Valley (an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty)."
